Get removal hearing procedure rules before subpoenas are issued
Applies if: You represent a party, council member, or prospective witness in the removal proceeding
Context: The special meeting item posted for both June 8 and June 9, 2026 covers witness lists, issuance of subpoenas, other motions before the Council, and scheduling of the removal hearing, but names no governing authority for any of it.
Recommended: Request from the City Secretary the adopted procedural rules, any pretrial order, and the charter or code provision the Council is relying on to issue subpoenas and compel witnesses in the mayor's removal action, plus the current witness list. If you represent the mayor, a council member, or a likely witness, the record does not yet show what authority governs service, objections, or motions to quash — get that in hand before a subpoena lands, because scheduling of the merits hearing is on the same agenda item.
Ask why mayor removal pretrial hearing ran two straight days
Context: Case File 26-0901 shows the same pretrial item for the mayor's removal action noticed at special Council meetings on consecutive days, June 8 and June 9, 2026, both marked "To Be Introduced."
Recommended: Ask the City Secretary whether the June 8 special meeting was recessed, adjourned for lack of quorum, or continued, and why an identically worded pretrial item was reposted for June 9 — then request the minutes, any adopted procedural rules, the witness list, and any subpoenas issued or denied. Both postings are still logged as "To Be Introduced" with no recorded outcome, so the public record currently shows two hearings and zero rulings.
